Are you ready to make huge progress in your house?

Please grab a trash bag, grab a place or a bag or a box to put donations,

and today I'm bringing some decluttering tough love.

Hey clutterbugs, welcome back to the clutterbug podcast. I'm so excited about today's episode,

but I have to give you a disclaimer that I might get a little

a little passionate it might feel like a little aggressive but know that this is coming from a place of love and I just want what's best for you and I really want to help you shift your mindset about your stuff because why we struggle with mess and clutter in the first

place is because we have too much. But letting go is hard. It's hard because of all

the lies we've been told about how more is better and the promises that these things

have brought us or the fact that decluttering just isn't something that we've been taught is a normal part of our every day and our every week and our every month routine.

And so stuff is really added up. But today I'm going to talk about some things that hopefully are going to change your thought

process about your stuff and definitely get you motivated to get things out. And I'm feeling really passionate about doing this because this past weekend

was the live all-day declutter as part of the Take Your House Back program that I do with Dawn from the Middle Mom and

Dana from a Saab comes clean. Together we've created a course and three times a

year we have an event that's live with thousands and thousands and thousands of people from all

over the world where we coach them virtually as clutter coaches to get stuff out. And it was so incredible this past

Saturday just to see the before and after pictures.

And I was so proud of people,

but I was also really sad.

And I felt sad because I remember,

like it was yesterday the feeling of living in a really cluttered space and the negative

impact it had on my life and seeing all the photos of people's homes. It just brought all that emotion right back again.

And for a lot of us, we can become really clutterblind to our stuff. We see it every day. We've had it for so long,
